Diadochi Wars
SUMMARY
– Scripted event that has high chance to trigger the historical 4th Diadochi War for Phrygia (Phrygia vs Macedonia/Thrace/Seleucids/Egypt).
– If war is avoided, event increases risk of Phrygia breaking apart
DESCRIPTION
The 4th Diadochi War does not often happen in the game, despite the game starting at nearly the exact moment of the war. None of the existing Diadochi mods were meeting my needs so I made this for my own use.
This mod gives the Antigonids (Phrygia) an early choice: whether to restart the Diadochi War, or to lose their claims and enter a period of internal instability. The AI will usually pick the war option. The latter option will usually lead to subject states breaking away, and if Antigonos dies early, the risk of a big implosion. If you are playing as the Antigonids, this mod makes the early game very challenging (but not impossible).
EVENT
"Although Antigonos achieved a measure of dominance following the Second War of the Diadochi, the other dynasties were unwilling to see the rich lands of Asia fall under the authority of a single man. The Third War soon followed, and despite victories against Kassander and Ptolemy, a stalemate in the east saw large swathes of territory fall into the hands of his arch-rival, Seleucus. The former lands of Alexander settled into an uneasy balance of power, and now Antigonos must decide whether to resume the war."
